Independent Label · Seattle, WA (Give or Take)
Music that makes your ears question a few life choices.
Clean Yer Ears Records is an independent label committed to artists who don't compromise: raw sounds, real stories, and at least one theremin per record. We don't make the rules, we just enforce them poorly.
Roster
Our Artists
Aurora & 85th
Veterans of the mid-2000s power-pop scene, blending deep punk roots with steamy, synth-driven new-wave pulp (and at least one keytar solo they refuse to apologize for).
View Artist →
Walker & Calhoun
A supernatural noir concept project: Echo & the Bunnymen's oceanic grandeur, The Cure's emotional architecture and Joy Division's cold unraveling. Music for the forgotten highway.
View Artist →
Eloy
Hook-driven geek-rock power-pop engineered in a garage that may or may not still be up to code: restless energy, a Moog held together by faith and duct tape, and a live show built for the front row (medical waiver recommended).

Palisade Alpha
Medieval hyperpop from a two-man court that answers to no king but the drop: lutes run through bitcrushers, a rhythm section that may or may not be a trebuchet, and choruses built for a mosh pit that hasn't been invented yet in this century or the 14th.

We sign artists,
not products (mostly).
Clean Yer Ears Records was built on one idea: great music deserves a label that gets out of the way, forgets where it put its keys, and lets the music breathe. We work with a small, intentional roster, mostly because we can only remember so many names at once.
